A landowner-led local group for managers of rough, wildlife-rich grazing land

About us

The Blackdown Hills Rough Grazers Association was set up in early 2014 by a small group of landowners and managers, following the ‘Beef & Butterflies’ project.

We aim to give a voice to local people who own and manage the traditional pastures and meadows in the Blackdown Hills. The Hills contain generations of knowledge about these special places, and we want to help share that knowledge.

The rough, wet grazing land in the Blackdowns is hard to farm but rich in wildlife – we want it, and its owners, to thrive.
